Washington, D. C. Aug. 17.—California grape growers appearing today
before the Senate Agricultural Committee urged that the pending national prohibition legislation be
amended so a* to become effective
Job/ 1. 1920 instead of July 1, MU,
as now proposed. They said tho July
1, compromise would benefit wine
manufacturers but would cause enormous losses to grape growers.
M. Sheehan, of Sacramento, secretary of the California state Board of
Viticulture, told the committee .tha
grape growers realized that —s—'
prohibition is only a question of Ume
but weald like to watt for the federal
amendment now pending before the
states, because it would give tbem
more time to prepare for the transition.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chairman of tho committee, said tho fedei*
al amendment would be ratified by
the states by nest January or February to become effective one year after ratifications. - Mr. Sheehan replied
that tho grape interests la California
were preparing for national problbi
tion by curtailing their production
and wben two-third* of tbe states expressed a desire for national prohibition they would be willing to abandon their business.
Tne hearing will be continued tomorrow.
By Aaaoclated Preas to The Review
Columbus, O.,, Augl 27—National
and state-wide prohibition for the
first time in tbe history of Ohio, will
in all probability receive the endorsement by one of the major political
parties ln its party platform.
Indications todsy pointed strongly
to the adoption tomorrow of a strong
prohibition plank by the Republican
platform convention which convened
bere this afternoon.
With former Governor Frank B.
Willis, tbe party candidate for governor, ln absolute control of the convention and party organization and
the fact tbat he ls an open advocate
of both ratification of tbe federal
prohibition amendment and the adoption of the-state-wide dry proposal,
practically clinches tbe party stand
on the dry question it is said. Po-
llcitians say on**a a miracle of some
sort can prevent the adoption of the
dry plank.
Dry leaders say ;w adoption
by a safe majority is a foregone conclusion.
It ls not expected thst the Democratic party which meets -Thursday
to adopt a platform wlll take any
definite stand on the prohibition
question. Governor Coz has stated
that he would have nothing to say on
tbe question until after tho convention had dona ita work.
Probably standing out tn bolder relief than even the dry plank will ha
the plank on winning the war aad
patriotism. Senator Harding. It Is
understood, ha* been entrusted -wltb
tho drafting of thl* proposal aad
tbose who hare been token into the
senator's confidence say it rings
through with American patriotism.
The resolutions committee which
will draft the platform will meet tonight. It will be' composed of 22
members, one member to be chosen
this afternoon from eaeh ot th* congressional districts hy contention
d''/gates residing within the district.
The district meetings will be held at
2 o'clock this aiternoon.
Tbe decision to select the resolutions committee by districts, made
last nlgbt by tbe central committee,
Insured a majority of the platform
committee to be composed of dry
members. The plan was opposed by
wet members of the central committee.
The platform also is expected to
contain a proposal favoring the sub
mission by Congress of a national general approval.
equal suffrage amendment and urging its adoption by the state. Tbls
stand on suffrage Is said to be
prompted In recognition of the work
being done by women in helping to
win the war and tbe sacrifice* they
are making in sending their boy* to
the front.
Two other noteworthy platform
declarations are expected to be on
socialism and foreigners entering the
state.
It I* understood that a strong denunciation of all tendencies toward
socialism and other forms of radical
government will be made and plans
to counteract their development urged upon the Federal Government.
A demand also probably will be made
that all foreigners entering the state
be given a definite time in which to
declare their Intentions to become
citizens and that all who do not become citizens be required to register and report at stated periods.
Strong endorsement of tbe former administration of governor Willis
and of Senator Harding are Expected
to be made, and planks pledging financial relief for cities without Injuring the one percent tax law and for
schools also probably will be adopted.
Another plank recommending that
legislation be enacted that will permit public utilities to appear in, the
stste supreme mouTt to determine
whether the state public utilities
commission or tbe local city government has authority to fix rates for
service, before spy appraisal of their
propertlee is undertaken has been
suggested to the makers of the platform. This proposal 'Is said to be
put forward, to relievo the state and
utilities of unnecessary expense la
making appraisals and was prompted
by the state supreme courts decision
ln the Cincinnati gas case.
National Chairman Hayes, announced on his arrival from the east
tbls morning, that it will be Impossible for any of the Senators, who had
been scheduled to address the convention to be present owing to the
preaent War legislation that is up for
consideration. The only speeches
were those of Senator Harding, Mr.
Hayes and Mr. Willis.
E. M. Fulllngton, who was chosen last night ss chairman of the
executive committee to manage the

extended congratulations today. His
selection appeared to be meeting with

Columbus, O., Aug. 27.—ln his keynote speech before the .Republican
State I'laUorm contention this afternoon, Senator Warren G. Harding put
patriotism and winning the war above
aU other issues. Warned against any
trend toward socialism, urged preparation for industrial activities alter
peace, but denied vehemently that
"politics is adjourned."
"No party, worthy ot trust in peace
&f
per cent American in the boar of tb*
republic's peril," the senator declared.
"The few obstructionists, long since
shamed into obscurity, bore no party
credentials, but were disavowed by
the party to which tbey previously sobered."
Tile support of the President by the
Republican party has been tne most
cordial and whole hearted and abiding support ever givan to any federal
executive by a minority party since
the republic began," he aald, as for
adjourning politics he declared this to
be out of the question as our government is founded upon political parties, "but disloyalty ana indifference
are adjourned, and patriotism flames
high above and beyond party lines for
tbe winning of the war."
Declaring there is Uttle use to recite the regrettable story of our first
wasted year ln the war he said it ls
"better to fix our gaze on tbe million
and a half irresistible American fighting men. whom we speeded to Europe
far in advance of early Intentions, because imperiled freedom and civilization stirred us to the republic's best
endeavor. Let us satisfy our hunger
for achievement on the Indisputable
evidence that the armed sons of the
republic have turned the tide of war."
The senator pointed to tbe gigantic
efforts now being made to build ships
as Indication of the Republican party's
stand during 30 years for a merchant
marine builded with the aid of tbe
government. He strongly upheld the
stand taken by the minority for legislative probes of war activities, especially ship buifding and aircraft production, contending that tbese investigations bad had only one effectr-to
speed up production. Tbe investigations were not Intended and were not
made in tbe spirit of criticism, he!
said.
Senator Harding deplored the drift
toward government control of industry as he expressed fear ln the operation of the railroads and telegraph
sad telephone lines.
"It was seemingly necessary, and
most of the astounding grants are for
the period of the war alone. Thay
would be intolerable ln peace, would
bs a perversion of every ideal of representative popular government."
"Democratic party politics." Mr.
Harding said, "bas not been adjourned
for one hour in the control of the
government by the administration in
power." Referring to the President's
request for the defeat of certain candidates, be declared the party leader
who does such "poorly sustains the
pronouncement that 'politic* ls adjourned' -when he tells any state. Republican or Democrat, whom Jo send

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE REVIEW.)
With the American Forces oifthe Vesle Front, Aug. 27—(4 p.

of Bazoches, three miles west of Fismes. Simultaneously the Ger1
mans attacked the American lines at Fismette, about a mile norths
west of Fismes. I
Infantry fighting in the outskirts of Bazoches still is continu*
ing. The Americans at present are holding the upper hand. j
Smashing through tbe German
lines ln the battle field of northern
Picardy, British troops have reached
the western and northern outskirts
ot Bapaume, the town which has been
considered the keystone of the enemy lines ln that sector of the front
The official statement Issued at
London today shows slow but continued progress in almost every part
of the line trom Croiselles, far to the
north, to well below the Somme river.
. Tbo *Brltl*h are advancing toward
Beugnatre, two and a half miles
northeast of Bapaume. Nearer the
Somme river tbey have moved eastward along tbe difficult ground that
borders that stream. Tbey are reported east of Suzanne, which Is situated on the northern bank of the
river and are closing ln on Domplerre
which may be the pivot of the German lines south of the Somme in
the direction of Chaulnes.
French troops are once more advancing nearer Roye. the official
statement issued at Paris telling of
successes near St. Mard, about a mile
southwest of Roye. Heavy Oerman
counter-attacks were repulsed in this
region. Between the Aliette-and the
Aisne the French have repulsed German counter-attacks and have advanced their line about tbree quarters
ot a mile ln the district east of Bag-
neux. This advance should bring
General Mangln's armies nearly north
of the town of Jcvigny. which appears
to be Important from a defensive
point of view.
There ls little indication, however,
thst the German armies are demoralized ln tbe battle tbat ls going on
from Arras to Soissons. At every
point they seem to be fighting savagely and to be compelling the, Brit.
Ish and French to extend themselves
to the limit. The resistance seems
to be especially vigorous ln the region of Ooisselles and further north
btween the Cojeul and Scarpe rivers
where the British attacked yesterday]
morning.
British pressure Is being maintained ell aldng the front from ths
Scarpe to. tho Somme and an advance
through the Hlndenburg line south
of the Scarpe appears as one of tba
possibilities of the near future.
On the new section of the battle
field, the British are on the Hlndenburg line but apparently have not
progressed east of it on a front of
any great width. Important gains
have been made astride tbe Arraa-
Cambral road and another push Ilka
that of Monday will place the northern wing of the British attacking armies on ground virtually unscarred
by fighting.
German resistance continues to bs
stubborn, but it ls believed that tha
enemy Is fighting rear guard actions
ln tha hope of checking the British!
long enough to get on a new defensive line, probably north and south!
through Peronne. Divisions which

Washington, D. C. Aug. 17.—California grape growers appearing today
before the Senate Agricultural Committee urged that the pending national prohibition legislation be
amended so a* to become effective
Job/ 1. 1920 instead of July 1, MU,
as now proposed. They said tho July
1, compromise would benefit wine
manufacturers but would cause enormous losses to grape growers.
M. Sheehan, of Sacramento, secretary of the California state Board of
Viticulture, told the committee .tha
grape growers realized that —s—'
prohibition is only a question of Ume
but weald like to watt for the federal
amendment now pending before the
states, because it would give tbem
more time to prepare for the transition.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chairman of tho committee, said tho fedei*
al amendment would be ratified by
the states by nest January or February to become effective one year after ratifications. - Mr. Sheehan replied
that tho grape interests la California
were preparing for national problbi
tion by curtailing their production
and wben two-third* of tbe states expressed a desire for national prohibition they would be willing to abandon their business.
Tne hearing will be continued tomorrow.
By Aaaoclated Preas to The Review
Columbus, O.,, Augl 27—National
and state-wide prohibition for the
first time in tbe history of Ohio, will
in all probability receive the endorsement by one of the major political
parties ln its party platform.
Indications todsy pointed strongly
to the adoption tomorrow of a strong
prohibition plank by the Republican
platform convention which convened
bere this afternoon.
With former Governor Frank B.
Willis, tbe party candidate for governor, ln absolute control of the convention and party organization and
the fact tbat he ls an open advocate
of both ratification of tbe federal
prohibition amendment and the adoption of the-state-wide dry proposal,
practically clinches tbe party stand
on the dry question it is said. Po-
llcitians say on**a a miracle of some
sort can prevent the adoption of the
dry plank.
Dry leaders say ;w adoption
by a safe majority is a foregone conclusion.
It ls not expected thst the Democratic party which meets -Thursday
to adopt a platform wlll take any
definite stand on the prohibition
question. Governor Coz has stated
that he would have nothing to say on
tbe question until after tho convention had dona ita work.
Probably standing out tn bolder relief than even the dry plank will ha
the plank on winning the war aad
patriotism. Senator Harding. It Is
understood, ha* been entrusted -wltb
tho drafting of thl* proposal aad
tbose who hare been token into the
senator's confidence say it rings
through with American patriotism.
The resolutions committee which
will draft the platform will meet tonight. It will be' composed of 22
members, one member to be chosen
this afternoon from eaeh ot th* congressional districts hy contention
d''/gates residing within the district.
The district meetings will be held at
2 o'clock this aiternoon.
Tbe decision to select the resolutions committee by districts, made
last nlgbt by tbe central committee,
Insured a majority of the platform
committee to be composed of dry
members. The plan was opposed by
wet members of the central committee.
The platform also is expected to
contain a proposal favoring the sub
mission by Congress of a national general approval.
equal suffrage amendment and urging its adoption by the state. Tbls
stand on suffrage Is said to be
prompted In recognition of the work
being done by women in helping to
win the war and tbe sacrifice* they
are making in sending their boy* to
the front.
Two other noteworthy platform
declarations are expected to be on
socialism and foreigners entering the
state.
It I* understood that a strong denunciation of all tendencies toward
socialism and other forms of radical
government will be made and plans
to counteract their development urged upon the Federal Government.
A demand also probably will be made
that all foreigners entering the state
be given a definite time in which to
declare their Intentions to become
citizens and that all who do not become citizens be required to register and report at stated periods.
Strong endorsement of tbe former administration of governor Willis
and of Senator Harding are Expected
to be made, and planks pledging financial relief for cities without Injuring the one percent tax law and for
schools also probably will be adopted.
Another plank recommending that
legislation be enacted that will permit public utilities to appear in, the
stste supreme mouTt to determine
whether the state public utilities
commission or tbe local city government has authority to fix rates for
service, before spy appraisal of their
propertlee is undertaken has been
suggested to the makers of the platform. This proposal 'Is said to be
put forward, to relievo the state and
utilities of unnecessary expense la
making appraisals and was prompted
by the state supreme courts decision
ln the Cincinnati gas case.
National Chairman Hayes, announced on his arrival from the east
tbls morning, that it will be Impossible for any of the Senators, who had
been scheduled to address the convention to be present owing to the
preaent War legislation that is up for
consideration. The only speeches
were those of Senator Harding, Mr.
Hayes and Mr. Willis.

executive committee to manage the

Columbus, O., Aug. 27.—ln his keynote speech before the .Republican
State I'laUorm contention this afternoon, Senator Warren G. Harding put
patriotism and winning the war above
aU other issues. Warned against any
trend toward socialism, urged preparation for industrial activities alter
peace, but denied vehemently that
"politics is adjourned."
"No party, worthy ot trust in peace
&f
per cent American in the boar of tb*
republic's peril," the senator declared.
"The few obstructionists, long since
shamed into obscurity, bore no party
credentials, but were disavowed by
the party to which tbey previously sobered."
Tile support of the President by the
Republican party has been tne most
cordial and whole hearted and abiding support ever givan to any federal
executive by a minority party since
the republic began," he aald, as for
adjourning politics he declared this to
be out of the question as our government is founded upon political parties, "but disloyalty ana indifference
are adjourned, and patriotism flames
high above and beyond party lines for
tbe winning of the war."
Declaring there is Uttle use to recite the regrettable story of our first
wasted year ln the war he said it ls
"better to fix our gaze on tbe million
and a half irresistible American fighting men. whom we speeded to Europe
far in advance of early Intentions, because imperiled freedom and civilization stirred us to the republic's best
endeavor. Let us satisfy our hunger
for achievement on the Indisputable
evidence that the armed sons of the
republic have turned the tide of war."
The senator pointed to tbe gigantic
efforts now being made to build ships
as Indication of the Republican party's
stand during 30 years for a merchant
marine builded with the aid of tbe
government. He strongly upheld the
stand taken by the minority for legislative probes of war activities, especially ship buifding and aircraft production, contending that tbese investigations bad had only one effectr-to
speed up production. Tbe investigations were not Intended and were not
made in tbe spirit of criticism, he!
said.
Senator Harding deplored the drift
toward government control of industry as he expressed fear ln the operation of the railroads and telegraph
sad telephone lines.
"It was seemingly necessary, and
most of the astounding grants are for
the period of the war alone. Thay
would be intolerable ln peace, would
bs a perversion of every ideal of representative popular government."
"Democratic party politics." Mr.
Harding said, "bas not been adjourned
for one hour in the control of the
government by the administration in
power." Referring to the President's
request for the defeat of certain candidates, be declared the party leader
who does such "poorly sustains the
pronouncement that 'politic* ls adjourned' -when he tells any state. Republican or Democrat, whom Jo send

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE REVIEW.)
With the American Forces oifthe Vesle Front, Aug. 27—(4 p.

of Bazoches, three miles west of Fismes. Simultaneously the Ger1
mans attacked the American lines at Fismette, about a mile norths
west of Fismes. I
Infantry fighting in the outskirts of Bazoches still is continu*
ing. The Americans at present are holding the upper hand. j
Smashing through tbe German
lines ln the battle field of northern
Picardy, British troops have reached
the western and northern outskirts
ot Bapaume, the town which has been
considered the keystone of the enemy lines ln that sector of the front
The official statement Issued at
London today shows slow but continued progress in almost every part
of the line trom Croiselles, far to the
north, to well below the Somme river.
. Tbo *Brltl*h are advancing toward
Beugnatre, two and a half miles
northeast of Bapaume. Nearer the
Somme river tbey have moved eastward along tbe difficult ground that
borders that stream. Tbey are reported east of Suzanne, which Is situated on the northern bank of the
river and are closing ln on Domplerre
which may be the pivot of the German lines south of the Somme in
the direction of Chaulnes.
French troops are once more advancing nearer Roye. the official
statement issued at Paris telling of
successes near St. Mard, about a mile
southwest of Roye. Heavy Oerman
counter-attacks were repulsed in this
region. Between the Aliette-and the
Aisne the French have repulsed German counter-attacks and have advanced their line about tbree quarters
ot a mile ln the district east of Bag-
neux. This advance should bring
General Mangln's armies nearly north
of the town of Jcvigny. which appears
to be Important from a defensive
point of view.
There ls little indication, however,
thst the German armies are demoralized ln tbe battle tbat ls going on
from Arras to Soissons. At every
point they seem to be fighting savagely and to be compelling the, Brit.
Ish and French to extend themselves
to the limit. The resistance seems
to be especially vigorous ln the region of Ooisselles and further north
btween the Cojeul and Scarpe rivers
where the British attacked yesterday]
morning.
British pressure Is being maintained ell aldng the front from ths
Scarpe to. tho Somme and an advance
through the Hlndenburg line south
of the Scarpe appears as one of tba
possibilities of the near future.
On the new section of the battle
field, the British are on the Hlndenburg line but apparently have not
progressed east of it on a front of
any great width. Important gains
have been made astride tbe Arraa-
Cambral road and another push Ilka
that of Monday will place the northern wing of the British attacking armies on ground virtually unscarred
by fighting.
German resistance continues to bs
stubborn, but it ls believed that tha
enemy Is fighting rear guard actions
